Don’t worry. We’ll never get to constructing the ships because we’ll be blocked on the chips.
When there was a fire on the TSMC line, heavy industrial manufacturing came to a standstill. Where’s TSMC again? Taiwan. Humm. What’s the first place China said they plan to attack in the coming years? Taiwan.
We won’t be able to make so much as a usb charger let alone a whole battleship.
Now granted, tsmc is trying to construct a plant on us soil. But it seems some moronic union yahoos are slow rolling it. Someone should pull those idiots aside and have a quiet “national security” conversation with them.
